Crossmen to Field an All-Female Color Guard for 2019!

After recent discussion in charting a course for the 2019 program, Crossmen will be fielding an all-female color guard this year.

The decision to cast an all-female guard for next season was made by the design team, which includes color guard caption head and designer, Tyler Edrington.

“As a design team, we agreed that this would be the best decision for the production we are creating for the 2019 season,” said Tyler Edrington. “This year already, we are seeing a high return rate of our female performers, and annually have a strong female turn out during our audition season.”

Any males who were planning on returning from the 2018 season have been notified personally by Edrington of the decision. Those who have already registered to audition have received an email and will be refunded any fees that they may have already paid.

Crossmen is very thankful to have had so many talented male performers in the color guard program and plans to return to a co-ed cast when the program and timing are right.

The last time Crossmen fielded an all-female color guard was in the early 90’s.

If you are a female performer interested in auditioning for the 2019 Crossmen color guard, be sure to register for one of our many eXperience camps in November! You can find these dates and more information at www.crossmen.org/membership
